Eton Global Institute

I received an email from Eton Global Institute inviting me for a day of baking breads. My heart skipped a beat as read the contents. I did a bit of research to know what the institution was and what I can expect.

Eton is part
of a global network of more than 1500 schools. It
is internationally affiliated and accredited in the USA, Asia, and United

the 7 C’s needed to conquer the world. They are Critical Thinking & problem
Solving, Creativity & Innovation, Collaboration, Teamwork & leadership,
Cross-cultural understanding, Communication & Media Fluency, Computing

We broaden
students’ horizons by stimulating their minds, confronting their physical challenges,
and developing their circle of core competencies at a very young age. We strive
to help them open doors of learning, rather than creating learning barriers.
Our classrooms are outfitted with the latest interactive technologies and each
student has their own e-learning program that allows them to collaborate with
students all over the world.
